PhotoCardsDirect.com Releases Free E-Cards and Site Upgrades

(November 21, 2011)

RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 11/21/11 -- PhotoCardsDirect.com, a GreetingCardsDirect brand specializing in high-quality photo cards, is pleased to announce a number of upgrades and user-friendly additions to its website, as well as the release of new cards, card stocks, and card sizes.

The latest changes to PhotoCardsDirect.com mark significant steps forward in improving the user experience of the website just in time for the busy Photo Christmas cards ordering season. One such feature is the addition of a free E-Card option for all photo cards on the site. Customers can choose any card on the website and create an E-Card that can be emailed, shared with social networks, or printed. The built-in scheduler allows the customer to choose exactly when the card will be emailed to its recipient, making it the perfect gesture for the holidays or a birthday.

Other shopping friendly improvements were made for further ease in choosing and creating a photo card. While browsing, customers can "favorite" cards to view and compare in one place. During the card creation process, customers can now connect to Facebook, Flickr, and Picasa to easily upload photos into a card from their own personal photo albums. By creating an account on the website, any favorited cards or uploaded photos will be saved and can be viewed at any time.

PhotoCardsDirect.com has also significantly expanded its product line, including new Christmas photo cards, photo birth announcements, photo thank you cards, and more. The company's website also now offers new card sizes and paper stock options to complement its expanding line of contemporary photo cards. Customers can choose from six different vertical and horizontal orientations, including 4 x 8, 5 x 7, and 5 1/2 x 7 1/2, in addition to four different card stocks; Semi-Gloss card stock, Matte card stock, Semi-Gloss photo paper, and Matte photo paper.

"We're pleased to continue adding to our already extensive card line, but we're especially excited to be able to announce changes that we are certain will result in an excellent shopping experience for our customers," said GreetingCardsDirect.com Marketing Director, Laura Ahern. "We understand the competitive nature of the photo card market and launched our line with quality in paper and design. Right out of the gate those things distinguished our line of photo cards. Now, with the addition of 'Share With Your Network' social media features, free e-cards, new browsing tools and more, we're confident that any visitors to the site will find a vastly improved user experience as well."
